OK, Manhasset is more Asian than I remembered--both Manhasset and Roslyn are ~10% Asian. They do have some black students, but under 5%. I'd say those are pretty white districts.

Also, another area I thought of was Glen Cove. How are things there? Same with Farmingdale and West Hempstead.

Long Beach is mostly condos & co-ops. As much I don't particularly care for LB, I wouldn't consider it a bad town. Condos & co-ops are not the reason that Roosevelt is a bad town...or any other town for that matter. I don't know if race has anything to do with it, either. It's just a bad town, who knows why.
It also borders Freeport, Uniondale & Hempstead, which certainly doesn't help any. |

Not even remotely close....its not Roosevelt funky Dawg.
It fact Gordon Heights is looking pretty good these days.
They have a very good Civic association in there and they are trying.
There is hope for the Heights, I have seen steady progress in there over the last 10 years.
Homestead Village is still a nightmare but the homes by the park on Granny Rd have really come a long, long way.

Is Howard STILL complaining about that?
Well he did learn to do an excellent black accent for prank phone calls, didn't he? |
